Young's Literal Translation
“Truly
, truly
, I tell
you, whoever
does
not enter
the sheepfold
by
the gate
, but climbs
in
some
other
way
, is a thief and a robber .
`Verily
, verily
, I say
to
you, He
who
is
not entering
through
the door
to
the fold
of
the
sheep
, but is
going
up
from
another
side
, that
one
is a thief and a robber ;
But
the
one
who enters
by
the
gate
is the shepherd of the sheep .
and
he
who is entering
through
the door
is
shepherd of the sheep ;
The
gatekeeper
opens
the gate
for
him
, and the sheep listen
for
his voice .
He
calls
his own sheep by name and leads
them out.
to
this
one
the doorkeeper
doth
open
, and the sheep hear
his voice ,
and
his own sheep he
doth
call
by name ,
and doth
lead
them forth;
When he
has
brought
out
all
his own, he goes
on ahead
of
them
, and his
sheep follow him because they know
his voice .
and
when his own sheep
he
may
put
forth
, before
them
he goeth
on, and the
sheep follow him ,
because they have
known
his voice ;
But
they will never
follow a
stranger;
in
fact
, they
will flee from him because they do
not recognize
his
voice. ”
and
a
stranger
they will not
follow, but
will flee from him ,
because they have
not known
the
voice of
strangers
. '
Jesus spoke
to them using
this
illustration
, but
they did
not understand
what He was telling
them .
This
similitude
spake
Jesus to them, and
they knew
not what the
things
were
that
he was speaking
to
them ;
So
He
said to them again
, “Truly
, truly
, I tell
you ,
I am the gate
for
the sheep .
Jesus
said therefore
again
to them, `Verily
, verily
, I say
to
you --
I am the door
of
the sheep ;
All who
came before Me were
thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen
to
them .
all ,
as
many
as
came before me ,
are
thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear
them ;
I am the gate.
If
anyone
enters
through Me, he will
be saved .
He will
come in and go out and find pasture.
I am the door,
through me if
any
one
may
come
in
, he shall
be saved ,
and
he shall
come in ,
and go out ,
and find pasture.
The thief comes
only
to
steal and kill and destroy .
I have
come
that they may have life, and have it in
all
its
fullness
.
`
The thief doth
not
come,
except
that
he
may
steal ,
and kill ,
and destroy ;
I came
that they may have life, and may
have `
it '
abundantly
.
I am the good shepherd .
The good shepherd lays
down
His life for the sheep .
`
I am the good shepherd ;
the good shepherd his life layeth
down
for the sheep ;
The hired
hand
is
not the
shepherd, and
the sheep are not his
own.
When
he
sees
the wolf coming, he
abandons
the sheep and runs
away.
Then
the wolf pounces
on
them and scatters
the flock.
and
the hireling,
and
not being
a
shepherd, whose
own
the sheep are not ,
doth
behold
the wolf coming, and
doth
leave
the sheep ,
and doth
flee;
and
the wolf catcheth
them ,
and scattereth
the sheep;
The man
runs
away
because he is a
hired
servant
and is unconcerned
for the sheep.
and
the hireling
doth
flee
because he is an
hireling,
and is not
caring
for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd .
I know My sheep and My
sheep
know
Me
,
`
I am the good shepherd ,
and
I know my `
sheep ',
and am
known
by
mine
,
just
as the Father knows
Me and I know the Father .
And I lay down My
life
for the sheep .
according
as the Father doth
know
me ,
and I know the Father ,
and my
life
I lay down for the sheep ,
I
have
other sheep that are not of this fold .
I
must
bring them
in
as
well
, and they
will
listen
to
My voice .
Then
there
will be
one flock and
one shepherd.
and
other sheep I
have
that are not of this fold ,
these
also
it
behoveth
me
to
bring, and my voice they
will hear,
and
there
shall
become
one flock --
one shepherd.
The
reason
the Father loves
Me is
that
I lay down My life in
order
to
take it up
again.
`Because
of
this
doth
the Father love
me ,
because
I lay down my life ,
that
again
I
may
take it ;
No one takes
it from Me, but I lay it down of My
own
accord.
I have authority
to lay it down and authority to take it up
again.
This charge
I have
received from My Father. ”
no one doth
take
it from me, but I lay it down of myself;
authority
I have to lay it down ,
and authority I
have
again
to take it ;
this command
I received from my Father. '
Again there was
division among the Jews because of Jesus’
message.
Therefore,
again ,
there came
a
division among the Jews ,
because of these
words,
Many of them said, “
He is
demon -possessed
and insane.
Why would
you
listen
to
Him? ”
and
many of them said, `
He hath
a
demon ,
and is
mad,
why do
ye
hear
him? '
But
others replied
, “
These are not the
words
of a man
possessed
by
a
demon.
Can
a demon open
the
eyes
of
the
blind? ”
others said
, `
These sayings
are not those
of a demoniac;
is
a demon able
blind men's
eyes
to
open
? '
At
that
time
the Feast
of
Dedication took
place
in Jerusalem .
It was winter,
And
the dedication in Jerusalem came,
and
it was winter,
and Jesus was walking in the temple courts
in Solomon’s
Colonnade.
and Jesus was walking in the temple ,
in the
porch
of
Solomon,
So
the Jews gathered
around
Him and demanded
, “How
long
will
You
keep
us
in suspense? If You
are
the Christ, tell us plainly
. ”
the Jews ,
therefore,
came
round
about
him ,
and said
to
him
, `Till
when
our
soul
dost
thou
hold
in suspense? if thou
art
the Christ, tell us freely
. '
“
I already
told you, ”
Jesus
replied,
“but
you
did
not believe .
The works I do in My
Father’s
name testify
on
My behalf.
Jesus
answered
them,
`
I told you, and
ye
do
not believe ;
the works that
I do in the
name of
my Father,
these
testify
concerning
me;
But because
you
are not My sheep, you
refuse
to
believe.
but ye
do
not
believe,
for
ye
are not of
my sheep,
My sheep listen
to
My voice ;
I know them, and they follow Me .
according
as
I
said
to
you:
My sheep my voice do
hear,
and
I know them, and they follow me ,
I give them eternal
life
, and they will
never
perish .
No one can
snatch
them out of My hand .
and
life
age-during
I give to
them, and they shall
not
perish --
to
the
age,
and
no one shall
pluck
them out of my hand ;
My Father who has
given them
to Me is greater than all .
No one can
snatch
them
out of My
Father’s
hand .
my Father ,
who hath
given to me ,
is greater than all ,
and
no one is
able
to
pluck
out of the
hand of
my
Father;
I and the Father are one. ”
I and the Father are one. '
At
this
, the Jews again
picked
up stones to
stone Him .
Therefore
, again,
did
the Jews take
up stones that
they
may
stone him ;
But
Jesus responded
, “I
have
shown
you
many good works from the
Father .
For
which of these
do you
stone Me? ”
Jesus answered
them
, `
Many good works did
I
shew
you
from my
Father ;
because
of
which work
of them
do ye
stone me? '
“We
are
not
stoning
You
for any
good work ,”
said
the
Jews
, “
but for blasphemy
, because You
, who
are
a man, declare
Yourself
to
be
God. ”
The
Jews
answered
him,
saying,
`
For a
good work we
do
not
stone
thee
, but for evil
speaking
, and
because thou
, being
a man, dost
make
thyself
God. '
Jesus replied
, “
Is it not written in your Law: ‘
I have
said you
are gods ’
?
Jesus answered
them
, `
Is it not having
been
written in your law: I said ,
ye
are gods?
If he
called
them gods to
whom the word of God came —
and the Scripture
cannot
be broken —
if them he
did
call
gods unto
whom the word of God came ,
(
and the Writing
is
not
able
to
be broken ,)
then
what
about
the
One
whom the Father sanctified
and sent
into
the world ?
How
then
can
you
accuse
Me
of
blasphemy
for
stating
that
I am
the
Son of God?
of
him
whom the Father did
sanctify,
and send
to
the world ,
do
ye
say
--
Thou
speakest
evil,
because
I said,
Son of God I
am
?
If I am
not doing
the works of My Father, then
do not believe Me .
if I do
not the works of my Father, do not believe me ;
But
if I am
doing
them
, even though
you
do
not believe Me
, believe
the works themselves
, so
that you
may know and understand
that the
Father
is
in Me, and I am
in the
Father
. ”
and
if I do
, even if
me
ye
may
not believe, the works believe
, that ye
may know and may
believe
that in me `is'
the
Father
, and I in Him
. '
At
this,
they tried
again to seize Him, but
He escaped
their grasp.
Therefore
were
they seeking
again to seize him, and
he went
forth
out
of
their hand,
Then
Jesus
went back
across
the Jordan to the place where John had
first been
baptizing, and He
stayed
there .
and
went away
again
to
the other
side
of
the
Jordan ,
to the place where John was
at
first baptizing, and remained
there ,
Many came to
Him and said ,
“Although
John never
performed
a
sign, everything
he
said about this man
was
true .”
and
many came unto
him ,
and said --
`
John ,
indeed,
did
no
sign, and
all
things,
as
many
as
John
said about this one
were
true ;'
And many in
that
place
believed
in Jesus
.
and many did
believe
in him
there
.
